Abstract

From the point of view of physical parameters, ultrasonic testing is one of the methods that can be applied in the widest areas of non-destructive material testing. Manual ultrasonic testing of workpieces is, however, severely limited due to a range of factors. First and foremost, these are: - the conditions of propagation of ultrasound, - the reflection conditions of the sound ray at the flaws, - the coupling conditions of the sound generator or sound receiver, - the indirect display of the echo pulses, and - the high psychic and physical burden on the test personnel. All these conditions reduce the usefulness, but in particular the reliability of the manual methods. The present invention is intended largely to eliminate these restrictions by a simple and reliable positive guidance of the test head, as well as to ease the coupling and keep it constant. The guidance, and thus also the positioning, of the test head can be carried out exactly by means of the coupling and guiding foil in such a way that it is also possible to evaluate the echo pulse displays statistically using simple means.

Description

Beschreibungdescription

Die Ultraschallprüfung, vor rd. 30 Jahren in das Materialprüfwesen eingeführt, ist heute, wenn auch insbesondere bei der manuellen Prüfung noch mit vielen Problemen behaftet, unumstritten neben der Röntgen- und Gammaprüfung das meist eingesetzte Prüfverfahren und weist mit Sicherheit das noch größere Entwicklungspotential auf. Dieses Entwicklungspotential hat bei den maschinellen Prüfeinrichtungen für viele Anwendungszwecke das Ultraschallverfahren in Aussage und Wirtschaftlichkeit über den Standard der Durchstrahlungstechnologien gestellt, während die manuelle Prüfung wegen des bekannten Mangels einer Dokumentationsfähigkeit der Ultraschallbefunde in den letzten Jahren an Marktanteilen verloren hat.Ultrasonic testing, about 30 years ago in materials testing is introduced today, albeit still with manual testing in particular afflicted with many problems, undisputed next to the X-ray and gamma exams mostly used test methods and certainly shows the even greater development potential on. This development potential has with the machine test facilities for many uses the ultrasound method in terms of information and economy placed above the standard of radiographic technologies, while manual Examination because of the known lack of documentation of the ultrasound findings has lost market share in recent years.

Die für manuelle Prüfverfahren nicht gegebene Dokumentationsfähigkeit ist aber nur zum Teil die Ursache für den Rückgang des Einsatzes von Ultraschallgeräten, insbesondere des Einsatzes auf Baustellen. Eine wesentliche Teilursache dieses Rückganges bzw. eines der anstehenden ungelösten Probleme ist die hohe psychische und physische Belastung des Prüfpersonals. Der Gegenstand dieser Patentanmeldung soll zur Reduktion dieser Belastungen führen.The ability to document not given for manual test procedures but is only partially the cause of the decline in the use of ultrasound devices, especially for use on construction sites. A major partial cause of this decline respectively one of the outstanding unsolved problems is the high mental and physical Load on testing personnel. The subject of this patent application is intended to reduce lead to these burdens.

Jede Entlastung, auch nur auf einem dieser Sektoren, läßt wesentliche Verbesserungen in der Aussagefähigkeit, der Aussagesicherheit, nicht zuletzt auch in der Wirtschaftlichkeit der Prüftechnologie erwarten.Any relief, even in just one of these sectors, is essential Improvements in the informative value, the reliability of the information, not least of all expect in the profitability of the test technology.

Stand der Technik Es ist bekannt, daß Ankoppelfolien das Arbeiten mit Longitudinalschallköpfen wesentlich erleichtern. Diese Folien sind als fixer Vorsatz in die Schallköpfe montiert. Eine ähnliche, naheliegende Arbeitshilfe wurde für Transversalköpfe, wie sie vorwiegend für die Prüfung von Schweißnähten eingesetzt werden, nicht, zumindest nicht im industriellen Maßstab, verwendet.Prior art It is known that coupling foils work make it much easier with longitudinal transducers. These slides are as fixed Attachment mounted in the transducers. A similar, obvious work aid was found for transversal heads, as used primarily for testing weld seams are not used, at least not on an industrial scale.

Vorteile Analogieschlüsse und praxisorientierte Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, daß Kontaktfolien bei der Arbeit mit Transversalköpfen, wenn sie nicht, wie bei Longitudinalköpfen üblich, am Prüfkopf, sondern am Prüf stück objektgebunden angebracht werden, eine wesentliche Arbeitserleichterung, Einsparung an Kontaktflüssigkeit und vor allem eine wesentlich verbesserte Handhabung in der Kopf führung bringen.Have advantages by analogy and practice-oriented investigations shown that contact foils when working with transversal heads, if they are not, as usual with longitudinal heads, on the test head, but on the test piece object-bound can be attached, which makes work considerably easier and saves contact fluid and, above all, bring about a significantly improved handling in the head guidance.

Nachdem die Durchschallung bzw. das Impulsechoverfahren den Gesetzen der Optik und hier insbesondere den Reflexionsgesetzen genügt, ist es offensichtlich, daß nur eine exakte, richtungsorientierte Führung der Prüfköpfe - insbesondere der Transversalköpfe - eine der Voraussetzungen für ein verläßliches Prüfergebnis ist. Diese Voraussetzung (sie ist u. a. auch in einschlägigen Vorschriften und Normen verankert) ist wohl bei der maschinellen, nicht aber bei der manuellen Prüfung gegeben.After the transmission or the impulse echo method the laws the optics and here in particular the laws of reflection, it is obvious, that only an exact, direction-oriented guidance of the probes - especially the Transverse heads - one of the prerequisites for a reliable test result. This prerequisite (it is also in the relevant regulations and standards anchored) is probably given with the machine, but not with the manual test.

Werden die im ersten Abschnitt dieser Beschreibung erwähnten Kontaktfolien mit Führungsnuten und die Transversalköpfe mit entsprechenden Führungsleisten ausgestattet, so ergibt sich dadurch für die manuelle Prüfung ein Arbeitssystem, das dem einer maschinellen Prüfung weitestgehend entspricht.Are the contact foils mentioned in the first section of this description equipped with guide grooves and the transversal heads with corresponding guide strips, this results in a work system for manual testing that is suitable for the one largely corresponds to machine testing.

Eine nach den Patentansprüchen 1 - 5 ausgerüstete Folie erfüllt neben dem Zweck der leichteren Handhabung und eines geringeren Verschleisses auch die Aufgabe einer exakten Kontrolle der Kopfführung durch den Prüfer. Beide Effekte entlasten damit den Prüfer und verbessern dadurch zwangsläufig die Qualität der für manuelle Ultraschallprüfungen noch immer gegebenen subjektiven Prüfungsaussage. - L e e r s e i t eA film equipped according to claims 1-5 also fulfills the purpose of easier handling and less wear and tear also the Task of an exact control of the head guidance by the examiner. Both effects thus relieve the tester and inevitably improve the quality of the for manual ultrasonic tests still given subjective test statements. - L e r s e i t e
